Overview

This event is presented by the Wonderful World Festival.

Taking the Glebe Park Stage, Mic Conway and Robbie Long will present a hilarious array of idiosyncratic songs that will make your jaw drop, toes tap and sides split.

Audiences who know Mic from his days with "Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band" and Circus Oz will be delighted by this incarnation: Mic as storyteller of tales tall and true. There are new songs and some oldies close to Conway's heart. He croons "It's Only a Paper Moon" and a heart-breaking version of "Mad World", dispenses good advice in "Never Bite a Married Woman on the Thigh" and revisits Captain Matchbox classic "My Canary Has Circles Under His Eyes" and Tom Lehrer's "Masochism Tango".

There's magic, juggling, cavorting and that trademark tongue-in-cheek sense of humour. Stripped back, irreverent, and shameless… it's surreal vaudeville for crooning and swooning. Unforgettable!

Recommended for ages 2-112.
